I have a quilt loaded on my longarm and am pondering how to quilt it. In the interim, I started working on a UFO, finally putting the blocks together. My dear hubby walked by and said I couldn't start another one until I finished the one on the frame. Funny man. I asked if he was the quilt police, and he said yes! Ahem, I set him straight!

:thumbup: Good for you!! 8-)

lol :)

Good for you!

me too :lol: :lol: :lol:

My Hubster tried to tell me that a couple of times. I thought he was pretty funny too! Even funnier when he tells me I can't buy any fabric til I use what I have. :D

Ask to see his badge. :-D :-D :-D :-D No quilt police here. Go ahead and start your new one.

Cute story!!!! Do you really expect him to understand? They just don't get it. In a logical world, yes we should start and finish each project. But in a creative world, we have to be in the mood for each creative expression.

He's so funny!! At least mine doesn't tell me this(it wouldn't do him any good anyway, lol!!!).

Smile...say "yes dear", touch his arm lightly and turn back around doing whatever you want...

Thankfully my husband has no comprehension of what is or isn't a project. He just knows it is some fabric. Thank goodness because right now I have about 5 projects ongoing - from a full size quilt down to blocks for a soldier's quilt. This is one area I don't need him policeing (sp). :)

LOL!

Let us know if he gets serious about this and we have to come bail you out.

My husband only plays the quilt police about one project that I have yet to start and everytime he asks me about it I tell him that each time he asks me, the longer the penalty phase becomes before I eventually start it - I am well aware of my own UFO and USP list ("Unstarted Projects"). Then I tell him to go play policeman anywhere else OUTSIDE my sewing room, LOL.

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!

Thats funny! it's a well known fact in my house "yes dear" has an COMPLETELY different meaning!

LOL thats just too funny. I have been lucky and DH tries to not even look at what is going on and what I have because he knows if he says anything I can list things he has started and not finished..... and he doesn't like to be reminded of those LOL

Women rule! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

LOL I would be adding cooking his meals and washing his clothes to my UFO list too :wink: :D:D:D

I say "shall we walk to the gun cabinet?" NO, not to shoot somebody: just he can only shoot one at a time.. so why does he need so many???? Case and point!:):)

Funny, My husband said that to me when I was working on my BOM while my dd's wedding quilt is on the frame. He dosen't realize that hand quilting a king size quilt is not a quick few days.

He's a retired deputy sheriff, so he has a badge. But, it isn't a quilt police badge.

Oooooh, this is good. I'm going to remember this.

My DH ties fishing flys and has a stash of fur, feathers, hooks and threads that makes my fabric piles look really tiny. He would NEVER dare try the quilt police comments!

Well, it was so nice of you to help him out in his confused state of mind!! :thumbup: :lol:

LOL! It's the little things we do!

Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha! Audrey is my sister and I can guarantee that when he told her she had to finish one project before she started another, there was a big smile on his face! All he has to do is look in her quilt studio and he would know there were several projects going on. :)

what kind of trouble did he get in for impersonating the police..
i guess you told him any self respecting quilter is likely to have several projects going at one time.

Did you remind him that women are capable of multi-tasking?

Audrey...I love your attitude in life and in quilting.
I often wonder why we love them...lol

I know the felling

I was making a dedication quilt for the church. My DH walks in and says "What are you making?" I said, A baby quilt. You should have seen the look on his face! For a few seconds he was very scared! lol

*I say "shall we walk to the gun cabinet?" NO, not to shoot somebody: just he can only shoot one at a time.. so why does he need so many???? Case and point! - quiltlonger

Perfect!

AudreyB - Your kitty is absolutely gorgeous - tell me her name has something to do with her ink blot face!

Aren't husbands just so cute?? My husband washes and dries my fabrics. That way I tell him he is part of each quilting project. He has even helped me with "designs". He complains, but in a joking way. I think I will keep him.

Oh you have made my day. LOL - excellent :thumbup:

Quilting,gardening and my fur babies are my therapy in life,so my hubby knows better than to say anything. (He's tried)

I think we should tell some of these Husbands that they can't buy anymore power tools until they build something! ;) Lol*

I think all men are the same .I know mine would have said the same

Love it! You know how to work them!
